RICHMOND, VA--(Marketwired - Jun 17, 2013) - ALR Technologies (
ALRT's goal in the project is to assist the HOV team and their patients by replicating the results of ALRT's clinical trials; those trials demonstrated that the use of Internet-based Glucose Monitoring Systems (IBGMS) are associated with lower A1c levels, a key indicator of success for a patient's diabetes care program. ALRT will not receive any government funding for their participation in the project.
HOV's Chairman and President, Dr. Lenore T. Coleman, Pharm.D., CDE, FASHP, said: "We are excited to be able to utilize this new, FDA-cleared technology in order to better serve our patients. Many of our patients have challenging health conditions and co-morbidities. To meet these challenges, our ALRT partner will help us monitor our patients' blood glucose levels between office visits, allowing us to make more timely interventions and adjustments to their care plans. We are hopeful that this new technology will make a significant difference in the lives of our patients."
ALRT's President, Larry Weinstein, expressed enthusiasm about the particular nature of this project: "After conducting clinical trials and achieving FDA clearance and HIPAA compliance, we were eager to deploy our technology for the benefit of real world patients who are struggling with chronic disease and need more support. ALRT is very gratified that our first major deployment of our technology will benefit a very vulnerable population with significant healthcare challenges. We feel that our technology, in the hands of the great professionals of HOV, will help to improve the lives of these patients."
